Diagnostic challenge posed by the clinical presentation of foot drop in a patient with Hodgkin's lymphoma.

We report the case of a 56-year-old male with Hodgkin's disease who was being treated with mechlorethamine, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone (MOPP) and who presented with paresthesias, bilateral leg weakness, and foot drop. MRI revealed a paravertebral abscess with intraspinal extension that was drained and treated with vancomycin. Foot drop was persistent after the treatment.

Emphysematous cystitis: an unusual disease of the Genito-Urinary system suspected on imaging.

Emphysematous cystitis is a rare disease entity caused by gas fermenting bacterial and fungal pathogens. Clinical symptoms are nonspecific and diagnostic clues often arise from the unanticipated imaging findings. We report a case of 52-year-old male who presented with fever, dysuria and gross hematuria who was found to have emphysematous cystitis.
